Can kidney stones remved by laser?

Yes, kidney stones can be removed using laser treatment, specifically through a procedure called ureteroscopy. During this minimally invasive procedure, a thin tube with a laser is inserted into the urinary tract to break the stones into smaller pieces, which can then be easily passed or removed. This method is effective for stones that are too large to pass on their own and typically results in less pain and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
